California Avenue Two-Lot Subdivision

The project involves the subdivision of a 10-gross-acre parcel in unincorporated Santa Clara County, California, into two approximately five-gross-acre lots, designated as Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, with no immediate residential construction planned. Limited earthwork is proposed, consisting of approximately 80 cubic yards of cut and 74 cubic yards of fill per lot to establish building pads and construct driveways, with no tree removal permitted. Future development on each lot may include a single-family residence, an accessory dwelling unit, and a junior accessory dwelling unit, all to be served by a shared well located on Parcel 1 and individual onsite septic systems, along with fire protection improvements. The project aligns with county zoning and land development regulations and requires compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), including mitigation for potential impacts to biological resources such as burrowing owls and American badgers, as well as adherence to standards for water quality, stormwater management, and septic system design. Environmental review includes GIS-based assessments of vegetation, habitat, topography, soils, floodplains, and cultural resources, with final approval contingent upon mitigation measures being implemented and verified by the County and coordinating agencies including the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The lead agency is the Santa Clara County Department of Planning and Development, with the project solicitation number PLN24-118 and a posted date of November 19, 2025. The place of performance is in San Martin, CA, with project-specific inspections and approvals handled on-site and by the County’s Planning and Development Department in San Jose. No contract value, pricing, or federal funding information is provided, and no standard federal contract clauses, packaging, or delivery requirements are applicable. The point of contact for permitting and environmental review is David Horwitz, Associate Planner, and David Faria of Faria Engineering serves as the applicant and engineer of record. Environmental compliance obligations, such as pre-construction biological surveys, biologist-led worker training, and ongoing monitoring programs, are mandatory under the Mitigated Negative Declaration but are framed as regulatory conditions rather than formal contract provisions. Submissions for environmental review require both electronic and 15 hardcopy documents to be filed with the State Clearinghouse and the County, following CEQA guidelines, though no formal procurement evaluation factors, award basis, or contractor selection criteria are included in the documentation.
